For instance, France kept their traditional red socks, but they had blue shorts (as they had in 2012) – however, if the navy stripe was red and continued on white shorts, it would have looked great.

That’s not a debate to had for today, but it is France we focus on. We have to admit to being disappointed England lost to Iceland in the last 16 at Euro 2016 – not because of any great love for the team, but because it meant that they would have played France in the quarter-finals and we wanted to see what would happen in terms of the red-sock clash.

Most likely, it would have been England in all-white, but in 2017 we got to see what France had to do when a similar situation arose, away to Bulgaria in a World Cup qualifier.
